Zac Wilkerson stumbled into a career in music after being tricked into entering—and eventually winning—Lubbock's Blue Light Live Singer-Songwriter Contest in 2011. The prize was a solo acoustic set at the 2012 Larry Joe Taylor's Texas Music Festival in Stephenville. He has since etched out a strong following across the Texas music scene and beyond, with his work appearing on nationally syndicated and regional radio, as well as local and prime-time network TV.
Zac Wilkerson's show earlier this year at the Arc Light was among the best performances we've seen. This time, he is joined by former Eleven Hundred Springs frontman Matt Hillyer for an evening of stories and song swapping on the Arc Light stage.
For 23 years, Matt Hillyer fronted the legendary honky-tonk band Eleven Hundred Springs, touring the world and releasing more than a dozen albums before the band disbanded in 2021. However, Hillyer's career predates Eleven Hundred Springs. He honed his chops in the rockabilly outfit Lone Star Trio and even a rock band called Strap, hitting the stages of Dallas' venerable Deep Ellum neighborhood throughout the '90s. In 2014, he released his solo debut album, "If These Old Bones Could Talk."" Eleven Hundred Springs may have set the standard for swingin’ Texas country outfits, but Hillyer always had more to offer—which his latest record, "Bright Skyline,"" highlights.
The eleven tracks on "Bright Skyline,"" released in 2024 via State Fair Records, find Hillyer in his wheelhouse—a journey from his rockabilly roots through the vibes he takes from western swing, outlaw country, and traditional honky-tonk. In Hillyer’s words, the record is the natural successor to his 2021 solo project, "Glorieta."
